The inspiration for this week's show comes from Son Volt's "Windfall", which came on the radio as I was driving back from a dance on a cold, rainy night during ALX last weekend. I really like a lot of Jay Farrar's imagery, and wanted to create something with the feel of the verse in the song about tuning in to an old-time AM radio station, and the show this week is filled with country blues, Americana, gospel, and a little bit of bluegrass.
For my American listeners, I hope you have a happy Thanksgiving, and for everyone out there, have a wonderful weekend and stay safe.
The Reverend.

This week in the Shack
First off, I pretty much fail at remembering to switch between two programs consistently, so for now I'm going back to one program each week.
The Austin Lindy Exchange is this week, and then the Thanksgiving holidays are here. Between these two things and the general end-of-the-year madness that takes over my law practice in November and December, I've been somewhat pressed for time. Two-thirds of this week's set, therefore, are my two hour-long sets from last Friday at Kick Butt Blues.
With luck, I'll be coherent enough next Monday, post-ALX, to put another new set together.
1. Asylum Street Spankers - Wade in the Water (3:18)
2. Deborah Coleman - Jesus Just Left Chicago (4:40)
3. Jimmy Witherspoon - When The Lights Go Out (3:00)
4. Scrapomatic - Louisiana Anna (3:26)
5. The Derek Trucks Band - Crow Jane (3:53)
6. Gary Clark, Jr. - Blue Light Boogie (2:59)
7. Mike Bloomfield - Women Lovin' Each Other (4:42)
8. Big Time Sarah - Chicken Heads (6:02)
9. Hash Brown & The Browntones - Celluphone Blues (3:16)
10. Susan Tedeschi - Gonna Move (4:58)
11. E.R. Shorts - Panama City Blues (5:41)
12. Sweetman with his South Side Groove Kings - Jest Smoochin' (5:01)
13. Gene Harris, Jack McDuff, Niki Harris - Down Home Blues (7:00)
14. Buddy Guy - Lucy Mae Blues (3:33)
15. Otis Spann - Must Have Been The Devil (2:45)
16. Louisiana Red & Little Victor's Juke Joint - Too Poor to Die (3:08)
17. LZ Love & Lightning Red - Wang Dang Doodle (5:05)
18. Finnegan & Wood - Death Letter (5:28)
19. Howlin' Wolf - Smokestack Lightnin' (3:09)
20. Little Walter - My Babe (2:43)
21. Ian Siegal Band - Monday Saw (5:09)
22. Koko Taylor - Insane Asylum (4:22)
